The last couple of weeks have been a real shift for me. After finishing up a contract I have spend most of my time in a different lanuage, and entirely different programming environment. I’ve switched from Windows and c# to Linux and Ruby. From normal applications to web applications.

One of the things I like most about switches is all the new stuff I learn. Currently I’m working on building sweetcarloan.com this has been very educational. I’ve learned a great deal about SEO (search engine optimization) and though the concepts are fairly easy to understand it’s incredible time consuming and difficult. I have new respect for those that do it for a living.

It’s been fun to dive back into Ruby a language that has some similarities to c# but some huge differences. It’s got good support for lambda statements, reflection, extensions methods, inline funtion definitions (hmm had remember the names off hand.) However there are some huge differences in syntax and Ruby is completely dynamic in typing.

So that’s this week it’s been a total shift.
